Hey all

It's nice that discussions are held in forum style, but are there any chat rooms that a person (namely me) can talk to other civ fanz in realtime?
thanx

Personally, I like this turn-based chatting. Gives you more time to think about your next move. http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/lol.gif

Yes, and if I recall correctly, the last time someone brought up realtime around here it near caused an armed revolution as the citizens of CivFanatics took to the streets in rage.

There aren't any here at civfanatics, but there may be at some other civ sites. I never seen one personally, but if it can be done, someone will do it. I doubt that chat will be added to civfanatics any time soon; the community still isn't active enough. Although, I have seen a dramatic increase in activity over the last few months. Maybe if we get about twice the size we are now...

If I recall, Thunderfall said to me about a month ago, that there will be a chat opportunity here in two weeks... http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/shakehead_ron.gif

Yeah, an irc would be cool. Just more civ fanz will have to be told the coordinates.
So, who's willing to offer a nice server (note that many people are not from the US)

I am very familiar with IRC

I am also familiar with mIRC.

I can set up a mIRC script that is pre set to run on the IrCQ network, and make it available for download. So all people have to do is download it and click "connect".

They don't even have to know anything about mIRC right away. All they gotta know is how to click, type and hit enter. Anyone interested?

.. and now it has been updated so that it shows up in the form of a popup window! WoW!

Refer to the "Feedback" column under for more information and directions on how you can be included in the CF chat via mIRC.

Thunderfall has listed download sites of some of the best 'FREE' mIRC programs in the world! Even a mIRC newby will float through the installation and have access to all the Civ Fantics discussions LIVE! http://forums.civfanatics.com/ubb/smile.gif
